Trimming with the Clip Properties Tool

Trimming video is the process of removing unwanted frames from the beginning and end of your captured scenes, often referred to as the heads and tails. Since this is probably the most common editing activity, Studio's Clip Properties tool (Figure 7.46), a mechanism for trimming your clips, is accessible in all three Movie window views. See Table 7.1 for a list of the controls that the Clip Properties tool provides.
